Kawasaki Z400

Kawasaki Z400 first Introduced in 2019, and received immediate praise for being an approachable, affordable, reliable, but also fun and exciting naked bike. Its sporty character is adopted from the equally popular Ninja 400 with the same 399 c c parallel-twin engine, but the Z pulls its styling from the flagship Z models and implements a more upright riding position. The Z400 shares engine, chassis, and braking components with the Ninja 400. The Z400 is a Ninja 400 with a flat handlebar and no fairings. So the Z400 is a small-displacement naked bike with a more comfortable ergonomic layout than its faired brother. 



A fiercely authentic supernaked, the Kawasaki Z400 ABS motorcycle exudes fresh street style and is immediately recognizable in a crowd with a compact chassis and aggressive styling. Comfortable, balanced and capable, the Z400 ABS offers a visceral riding experience that's sure to turn heads.

Edgy and minimalist bodywork is a design that inspires sharp styling, dynamic performance and a distinct silhouette. The headlight housing is typical of the genre with dual LED projectors below a small flyscreen that protects the instrument cluster. The angular design of the front cowl is complemented by a compact, dark meter visor that adds to the aggressive look.

The engine is 399 c c twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled, capable of generating up to 44 horse-power at 9,800 rpm and 28 pound-feet of torque at 8,000 rpm. The top speed is 180 km/h. This means more power than any bike in this category, with enough acceleration to easily handle traffic in the city or on the highway. 

Based on feedback from racing activities, the Assist & Slipper Clutch uses two types of cams (an assist cam and a slipper cam) to either drive the clutch hub and operating plate together or apart.   Under normal operation, the assist cam functions as a self-servo mechanism, pulling the clutch hub and operating plate together to compress the clutch plates. This allows the total clutch spring load to be reduced, resulting in a lighter clutch lever feel when operating the clutch.   When excessive engine braking occurs as a result of quick downshifts (or an accidental downshift) the slipper cam comes into play, forcing the clutch hub and operating plate apart. This relieves pressure on the clutch plates to reduce back-torque and helps prevent the rear tire from hopping and skidding. This race-style function is particularly useful when sport or track riding.

The New 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 Tourer

Image
The 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 is a new middleweight sport-tourer built on the Trident 660 platform that was introduced last year. Triumph has its adventure bike bases covered with its various Tiger 850, Tiger 900, and Tiger 1200 models. But since the Tiger 1050 and Trophy were dropped from the lineup in recent years, it no longer has a sport-tourer in its lineup. Rather than go after the high-dollar, high-tech open-class sport-touring segment – which has all but dried up due to the popularity of adventure bikes – Triumph focused on the valued-priced middleweight segment, where it goes head-to-head with stalwarts like the Honda NC750X and Kawasaki Versys 650. The Tiger Sport 660 , which has a base price of $9,295. From the 17-inch cast wheels to the Nissin braking system and Michelin Road 5 tires, Hinckley leverages much of the Trident’s core components for the new model. Unique in this price and displacement class is the Tiger’s liquid-cooled, 12-valve, 660cc inline-Triple, a versa...
